​The film tells an inspiring and spirited story that follows a young couple, Kate and Stephen, as they discover the cause of Kate's recent weight gain, and must hide it or risk getting taken away from each other and the life they know. But one can only mask a secret for so long...

Support Crisis Pregnancy Centers

With Sanctity of life month here and Sanctity of life Sunday coming up we are showing our support for those who fight for life and for those who choose life. We are planning on screening the Katherine Johnson film, BUMP, in different cities across the USA during the month of January and donating the proceeds of those screenings to local crisis pregnancy centers.

What is Theatrical Release?

​What is Theatrical Release?Theatrical Release allows individuals like you the opportunity to organize and promote film screenings in movie theaters across the country. With Theatrical Release, you can bring the film you want to see play in your local movie theater. It is easy. You just pick the date, time, and theater where you want to host your screening. Storytellers will set everything up for you. It doesn't cost you anything to host a Theatrical Release screening. You don’t have to pay any screening room rental or exhibition fee. All you have to do is promote the film and get people to reserve tickets.

How do Theatrical Release screenings happen?Theatrical Release screenings can only happen if a minimum number of people reserve tickets before a screening expires. Executive Distributors, as we call them, have anywhere from 5 weeks to 4-months to promote the film in their city and get enough people to reserve tickets before the screening expires.

On every screening page, you'll find an update that shows you the number of current reservations, the number of additional reservations needed to "green-light" the screening, as well as how much time remains before that screening request expires.

When enough people reserve tickets to a screening before time expires, the screening takes place. If the minimum number of reservations is not met, the screening does not take place and nobody is charged.

How do I reserve/purchase a ticket to a movie?Scroll over the movie you want to see and click VIEW SCREENING DETAILS, then click either RESERVE YOUR SEAT NOW or BUY YOUR TICKET.

What is the difference between reserving a ticket and purchasing a ticket?When a movie does not have a "green-light", your option is to reserve a ticket by pre-authorizing your credit card. You are just reserving your seat but aren't actually being charged.

When a movie has a "green-light", your ticket purchase will be processed immediately and your reservation will turn into a purchased ticket. An email will be sent to you containing a link to download and print your ticket.

What does Green-Light mean?A "green-light" means the screening is definitely going to happen. This happens once the minimum number of reservations for a screening has been met.

When will my credit card be charged?Your credit card will only be charged once your screening has met the minimum number of reservations and has a "green-light".

The movie I want to see isn't screening in my area. How do I request a screening?It's easy. In the FILMS section, click on REQUEST A NEW SCREENING for your movie. Then, just follow the steps to let us know the time, date, and location you want, and we'll get started right away arranging your screening.

Once you have submitted your screening request, check your email for a confirmation email from Storytellers Films and the link to your screening page so you can begin promoting your event.

Who can request a Theatrical Release screening?Anyone can Executive Distribute a movie screening. Whether you're an individual, an organization, a social club, or a theater, you can request to Executive Distribute a screening. It's fun, simple, and only takes a few minutes.

What can I do to make my screening happen?Tell your friends, family, and anyone else you think would be interested in seeing the film. Great ways to do this are emailing the screening page and sharing on Facebook and Twitter. The more ways you spread the word about your movie event, the more likely it will happen.

What is Storytellers Films

What is Storytellers Films?As pioneers of Theatrical Release, StorytellersFilms uses movies to inspire local communities around social impact and political action, while championing a renaissance of theatre-going. Through grassroots marketing and outreach we generate public and private screening event requests for our films and then accommodate and book those requests in local theaters and non-theatrical venues. We accommodate organic theatrical and community screening demand almost wherever and whenever it exists! Our simple goal is to unite you, the movie-lover, with the films you want to see, right in your neighborhood. Movies are meant to be seen in a theater with a crowd.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:• Every film has an audience.• Movies are much more fun to watch in a theater, with a crowd.

45,000 films are going to be made, worldwide, this year. Yeah, we realize not all of them -- okay, most of them, aren't going to be so great -- but, that still leaves a ton of solid movies that won't have a prayer of being shown in a theater near you. Studios, after all, only plan to release about 120 of them.

So, if you are a film fan who wants to see the latest genre fare with a like-minded crowd of rabid film geeks, or if you are a foreign expat who wants to get together with family and friends to see something that was made back home, your chances have been pretty slim. Until now.

Storytellers democratizes theatrical distribution by allowing you, the movie-goer, to 'pull' movies to local theaters, instead of being stuck with what few options are currently playing.

Who can Executive Distribute a Theatrical Release screening?Anyone. Once you set up an account, you're good to go.

Are you an Art House or Community Theatre?If you are an art house operator, Theatrical Release is a risk-free way for you to curate repertory and/or first-run movies, because you won't have to lay out costs for prints/content. We'll handle that.

Here's the thing, though...We need to "green-light" the screening, first, before it can happen. Theatrical Release is about seeing a movie with a crowd. A kinetic crowd has a lot to do with getting you out of your living room. So... The screening only happens if enough people agree to see it. In order for that to happen, we make it easy for you to promote your (or someone else's) screening on Facebook, Twitter, email, you name it.

Where can you find us?You can find Storytellers Films on Twitter and Facebook. Follow Us!
